Retire Now If You Can Answer Yes to These 6 Questions

Early retirement + retirement planning made simple: Can you retire now? In this video, I share 6 questions to test your financial independence and retirement readiness—before you make the leap. If you can honestly answer YES to all six, you may be closer to retirement than you think. In this video, we’ll cover the 6-question retirement test: 1. Are you postponing the life you actually want? 2. Is your job taking a real toll on your health? 3. Have you outgrown this stage of your career? 4. Do you want more time with the people you love—while you can still enjoy it? 5. Do you know what you’re retiring to? 6.
